INNOVATIVE FINE ART IN SANTA FE AND DURANGO
In this episode of the Blue Rain Gallery Podcast, host Leroy Garcia sits down with three leading contemporary Native artists, Chris Pappan, Thomas “Breeze” Marcus, and Jesse Littlebird, for an in-depth panel discussion on tradition, innovation, and the creative journey. The conversation explores early influences, heritage, navigating cultural protocols, overcoming creative blocks, and the biggest artistic risks they’ve taken. From childhood memories and desert landscapes to graffiti walls and ledger art, each artist reveals how their personal history and community ties shape their work. This candid exchange offers insight into the evolving landscape of Indigenous art today.
